SFR - CCM
The transaction concerning the integration of SFR by Orange, Free, and Bouygues Telecom is underway. Signaling a significant change in the telecommunications sector in France, this operation would put an end to competition among four main national operators by eliminating SFR. Raising questions among current SFR subscribers about their future subscriptions, the operation would also lead to the closure of many SFR retail outlets. Moreover, customers would not need to change their SIM card, smartphone, or number while being transferred to another operator. What are your opinions on these potential changes?

    There is still one question for which I cannot find an answer in the various articles dedicated to the subject: what will happen to the sfr.fr email boxes? Will there be automatic attribution of a box with the new operator? Backup/transfer/loss of message history? ... Do you have any information on this? (I am particularly interested in this for my very elderly mother, as this prospect already causes her a lot of anxiety)

    Thank you

      It is assumed that the old domain will be maintained as is, possibly with an optional migration to the new one, and that anything sent to tartempion at SFR would be automatically redirected to tartempion at X.

      This is what happened when SFR absorbed Club Internet, Neuf, Numéricable, and Free Alice, whose addresses still work but this may not necessarily be a good idea. In the medium term, an old Alice subscriber or anyone else may have trouble accessing their account, whereas they would find it easier to do so at Free.

      It would then be the responsibility of the subscriber to gradually notify the appropriate parties (administrations, etc.) of their "new" address for security reasons.

      Regarding duplicates, the article repeats, apart from the fate of the stores, what has already been said in every possible way without fully completing its thoughts: we already know, depending on the nature of the SFR subscription (Red, SFR Grand Public, SFR professionals, etc.), which operator will absorb whom.
